🍳 Construction
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or pizza pan to ensure your dessert doesn’t stick.
2️⃣ Roll Out the Dough
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into a large rectangle or circle, depending on your preference. Pinch the seams to make a smooth crust, and shape it into your desired form.
3️⃣ Add the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough. In a bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle it generously over the buttered dough. The aroma of cinnamon will soon fill your kitchen! 🍩
4️⃣ Bake the Pizza
Bake the dough for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking. The golden color means it’s done! 🌟
5️⃣ Make the Icing
While the dough is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. This will be drizzled over the warm pizza. 🎨
6️⃣ Drizzle and Serve
Once the pizza is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the icing in zigzags or swirls over the warm pizza. Let it cool slightly, slice it up, and enjoy! 🍴
🎨 Variations to Try
If you want to make your cinnamon-sugar pizza even more special, here are a few fun twists:
-
Cream Cheese Glaze: Swap the icing for a cream cheese glaze by mixing softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. 🧀
-
Nutty Crunch: Add some chopped pecans or walnuts before baking for extra texture and flavor. 🌰

Apple Cinnamon Version: Thinly slice an apple and layer it over the dough before adding the cinnamon-sugar for a fruity touch. 🍏
